Yeah.
What do you want people to know about the town beyond the headlines?
Still to come, questions around why and how the alleged killer was released from jail.
Catherine, the family has asked politicians not to turn Kamajai Little Baby's death into a political issue.
How do we respect that while not trampling on people's griefs, while still asking serious questions about how this happened and what has to change?
After a case like this, governments often reach for tougher policing, more surveillance, more restrictions, and then in some instances, more child removals.
What would be the wrong lesson to take from common jail little babies?
Death.
Catherine, Kalanjai Little Baby's disappearance received national attention, but that is unusual when it comes to the disappearance of Aboriginal children and women in this country historically.
So many other missing Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander kids don't get that type of attention.
Do you think that this horrific case could be a turning point in terms of the national gaze on these issues?
Just to be clear, Catherine, this is the alleged and attempted terrorist attack on the Australia Day slash Invasion Day rally in Perth, yeah?
Catherine, thank you so much for your time.

Also in the news, research company Roy Morgan has urged the Reserve Bank not to raise interest rates when it meets today, saying it would be an historic mistake.
It argues that key economic indicators show our economy is already in a weakened state, warning a rate rise would likely plunge Australia into a recession we don't have to have if we aren't already in one.
But experts say there's nearly an 80% chance the RBA will deliver its third straight interest rate hike.
And the Royal Commission into Anti-Semitism hearings will continue today after kicking off in Sydney yesterday.
The daughter of one of the Bondi victims told the Commission there has been a massive shift in anti-Semitism after the October 7 attacks, and that in the wake of the Bondi massacre, she's received hundreds of comments saying she should have been killed too.
